Subject: Vincent Price at his best
One of my favorite films of all time... Sure Vincent Price has played all sorts of roles, in and out of the horror genre.. Some more flamboyant, some more unstable and crazy... But here, he comes off so dark yet sophisticated and it's perfect for this role... Classic spooky tropes, classic film to put you in a Halloween mood.

I enjoyed this film. The characters were interesting, as was the classic switch from fake to real spooks; it's as if I were possessed to watch it.

moongleam- all caps dont make you right! And pointing out a strangers purported "ignorance" does nothing to admonish yourself of the same identifier. Whilst the film itself is indeed,"supposedly" public domain, the music in the film was in fact renewed. Here's the info requested:

Subject: Youtube Pulled It
Subject: Youtube Pulled It
Why if this is public domain content did youtube pull it, placing a copyright strike on my account?
It said something about this being the master copy
Youtube is riddled with contradiction. They ask that you not to upload copyrighted content, yet most of their content is just that. Music, TV shows, movies,uploaded by consumers. If you do it anyway, they'll tell you it's up to the copyright holder to decide if their material should be pulled. So basically they're saying, don't, but you (like millions of others) just might get away with it.
It's either copyrighted or it's not & if this movie is in the public domain it shouldn't get yanked. But in typical youtube style others are still online.

This movie was a real treat and I enjoyed how simple , yet terrifying it was. With great acting and the psychology beyond all the creepiness in the film it deserves 5 stars.

one of my all time favorites, I just love those creepy sound effects, chains rattling and that spooky laughing.
And of course there's Carol Ohmart (vincent price's wife) she's a real babe.

The value of the movie is unquestionable (though someone found common places
with Ed Wood!?).I had not seen the original till now but just the remake with Geoffrey
Rush in the place of the millionaire.Now i think that we should give a "ghost party"
to all remake directors with the hope that none of them would come out alive!
Really watching movies like this makes me shout PLEASE NO MORE REMAKES!

Subject: What a scream
A thoroughly enjoyable way over the top camp horror classic.
I remember when it was first shown in the theatres,they had a skeleton dancing on wires over the audience just as the on screen skeleton was putting paid to Vincent's wife.
You can't beat that!

Please answer guys, is this in widescreen or fullscreen format? I have the fullscreen version & it's quite a disappointment, I don't want to redownload something that I already have.

Subject: Best version of this movie on archive.org
The MPEG-2 encoding here is the best available version on archive.org. The plot summary is incorrect, however, as they were promised $10,000 each.
I always enjoy Vincent Price movies. He has a screen presence that's hard to ignore. It's worth a download just to see Vincent Price in action even if you aren't a suspense/horror movie fan.
Overall, this is a fun movie but you have to stretch your imagination (and ignore circumstances) at times. This is one of the best public domain movies on archive.org.
